Chapter 269: Dangerous Path (3/5)

Life in the deep mountains and dense forests, although it is also hard, but for Xiao Suifeng and Linglong, it is a rare leisure, there is no grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, there is no need to think too much about the heart, it is rare to be calm.

It's just that this situation can't be maintained forever, the two of them take a black fox outside, and they always have to get out of this deep mountain, and it is impossible to stay in this mountain forest for a lifetime.

The black fox already knew what Xiao Suifeng and Linglong had done to him.

Regarding Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's plan to lower his plans to hand over to the border army of the imperial court, the black fox naturally can't say that he is willing, but compared to knowing his life here, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's choice is obviously a lot softer, and it also leaves room for maneuver.

Compared with the previous worry that he might lose his life at any time, after Xiao Suifeng and Linglong told the black fox the news, they made the black fox feel a lot more at ease, and began to think about his retreat again.

In Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's opinion, if the black fox falls into the hands of the border army of the imperial court, there is absolutely no way to live. After all, one of the main responsibilities of the army of the Dakang Imperial Court in Wangshan Yuan is to be responsible for clearing out horse thieves, and the black fox not only happens to be a horse thief, but also the king of horse thieves who has been spanning for decades.

Therefore, in Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's view, the black fox fell into the hands of the army, basically there was no life or death, and Xia Soufeng was still a little hesitant after making this decision, but there was no other way, and it could only be so.

Xiao Suifeng and Linglong Shi thought so, but the black fox didn't think that he had fallen into the hands of the army, that is, he had fallen into a desperate situation.

Speaking of which, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are not the people who survive in this Wangshan Plain after all, and they can't understand the horse thieves, and at the same time, they can't understand those border troops.

The black fox is such a leader of horse thieves, and if it falls into the hands of the border army, it will naturally not have good results, which can be seen from the fact that the black fox cautiously arranged seven stockades in the Broken Forest Mountain and carefully hid his whereabouts.

But if the result is not good, it does not mean that you will definitely die.

Of course, if it is according to the law of Dakang, the black fox is a horse thief who falls into the hands of the imperial court, not only will he die, but he will also die a miserable death. But in Wangshanyuan, it is not so strict, and it is not a black and white world.

In this Wangshan Plain, the existence of horse thieves is naturally black, but the existence of the imperial court border army is not white. Needless to say, although the imperial army has the duty of guarding the territory and defending the people, in this Wangshan Plain, they will only protect those caravans that have really paid heavy taxes and the people living in several military cities and towns controlled by the army.

I have to say that Wangshanyuan has not been able to truly naturalize the imperial court, and it has a lot to do with this behavior and policy of the army.

The imperial army in Wangshan Plain is like this, it is difficult to hold a certificate, can you expect him to act in strict accordance with the laws of Dakang?

Therefore, although the black fox is a horse thief on the border army's wanted list, if it really falls into the hands of the army, it may not necessarily be dead, at least there is still room for operation.

Moreover, for the imperial army in Wangshan Plain, killing the black fox is not the best way.

The soil in the Wangshan Plain is like this, and horse thieves emerge in an endless stream, just like leeks, which cannot be killed at all, so if you kill the black fox, there will soon be another horse thief who will rise and replace the original black fox.

However, no one knows what the rising horse thieves are like, whether they will abide by the rules or not, which will undoubtedly be a big variable for the border army who are unwilling to find trouble.

Although the black fox is the leading horse thief around Shacheng and a repeat offender who is requested by the imperial court, the black fox has been a horse thief for decades, and he has already adapted to the rules in Wangshan Plain.

The rules of Wangshanyuan are not set by horse thieves, nor by the army, nor by the big-bellied merchants of the caravan, but by a naturally formed thing, but the existence of this rule is a rule that ensures that horse thieves, the army, and merchants can survive well.

The reason why the black fox has been able to move around the sand city, and slowly sitting on it rarely causes the imperial army to clean up, the black fox's caution is naturally a reason, but in the same way, it is also because the black fox restricts his subordinates to abide by the rules that are not famous in this Wangshan Plain, and will not cause trouble for the army, and can even restrain the rest of the horse thieves around the sand city who are not strong enough to make the black fox obey the rules.

It can be said that there is no direct connection between the black fox and the border army in Shacheng, but between the two, there is a tacit understanding that there is no need to communicate, which is the reason why the army tolerates the existence of the black fox to the greatest extent.

And once the black fox is really handed over to the Shacheng army by Xiao Suifeng and Linglong, this is undoubtedly the biggest vitality of the black fox, as long as it is properly planned, or even regains its freedom and returns to Broken Forest Mountain, it is not a problem.

After all, compared to a horse thief leader who suddenly rises and does not know the height of the sky and may cause big trouble, Black Fox is obviously more in line with the interests of the army as a well-behaved horse thief.

Of course, the black fox also understands that if he really wants to regain his freedom and return to his own mountains and forests, he must pay an astonishing price, but no matter how big the price is, it is always acceptable relative to his own life and freedom.

Therefore, for Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's decision to hand him over to the Shacheng border army, although the black fox felt that it was still acceptable in his heart, when he thought of the huge price he had to pay, he couldn't help but feel extremely hatred for Xiao Suifeng in his heart.

It's just that the black fox is cunning and black-bellied, so naturally he won't easily reveal his thoughts, and his face is still as calm as ever.

Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are not people in Wangshan Plain after all, and they naturally can't be so clear about all the ways in it, so they don't understand why the black fox behaves so calmly.

However, compared to a crazy person, the calm black fox, although elusive, is always a little easier to deal with. As for what ulterior intentions the black fox has, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong don't feel that they need to think too much, anyway, as long as they get to Shacheng and hand over the black fox to the army, this period of cause and effect between the two and the black fox can be regarded as understanding, even if the black fox has any other ideas, it has nothing to do with the two of them.

......

In a blink of an eye, five days passed, and Xiao Suifeng Linglong and a Great Dao Black Fox stayed in the depths of this Broken Forest Mountain for five days, and then Xiao Suifeng and Linglong began to think about retreating.

Five days is enough to wear down the enthusiasm of the black fox's subordinates to search for the black fox with all their might, and if it is really as Xiao Suifeng and Linglong expected, the black fox's subordinates are also hiding differences and contradictions, these five days are enough for them to intensify and explode, so it is almost time to leave.

It's just that, in order to be safe, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong did not leave directly, but Xiao Suifeng stared at the black fox, and Linglong went out to investigate first.

Linglong went out in the morning, and then knew that it was only in the evening that she returned to the cave where Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were temporarily hiding, and what she brought back was indeed good news. That is, at least in the direction of Linglong's exploration, there is no longer a horse thief searching for the black fox.

Now that there is this news, the two naturally decided to leave.

So, the next day, the two of them officially took the black fox and prepared to leave.

Although Linglong has already confirmed it, after all, it is equivalent to passing through the base camp of the horse thieves under the black fox, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are still extremely careful.

Linglong is in front, quietly sneaking around, finding a safe and non-threatening path for Xiao Suifeng. And Xiao Suifeng stared at the black fox cautiously and seriously, preventing the black fox from playing tricks in the dark and attracting the horse thief.

The two had a clear division of labor and were extremely cautious, but they did not find a threat along the way, and they did not give the black fox a chance to take advantage of.

It's just that with a black fox by his side, the speed of the two of them was greatly slowed down, and it took nearly three days to finally get out of the Broken Forest Mountain, and the mountains and forests were finally left behind, and the boundless grassland appeared in front of them.

"Oh, I'm finally out of this damn mountain!" Linglong couldn't help but stretch her waist and said in a playful voice.

Xiao Suifeng's heart was also a little enlightened, but his face was still as calm as a mountain, he only silently glanced at the black fox who didn't say a word, and replied softly, "Although it is out of the Broken Forest Mountain, it is still within the sphere of influence of the horse thief, and compared to the mountains and forests that can be sheltered everywhere, this grassland is easier to expose and be discovered, but you can't be careless." ”

Linglong nodded, "Don't worry, I know, I'm just feeling a little emotional." ”

Xiao Suifeng didn't say much when he heard this, and the three of them hit the road again.

......

From Linshan to Shacheng, there is no fast horse, and if you can only walk on a pair of legs, it will take three or four days if you are fast.

Moreover, as Xiao Suifeng said, although it is out of the Broken Forest Mountain, but the threat is not necessarily less, in the grassland on the Wangshan Plain, I don't know when there may be a horse thief's sentry, in this unconcealed open environment, the possibility of being found can be said to be greatly increased.

Moreover, at this moment, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are facing not only the horse thieves under the black fox, although it is still the sphere of influence of the horse thieves under the black fox, but the territory between the horse thieves is impossible to divide so clearly, and it is normal for the sentinels of other horse thief gangs to appear, which undoubtedly increases the possibility of the two being discovered.

It's just that there is no way to avoid such a risk, you can only be as careful as possible, as much as possible before being discovered, to reach Shacheng, or find the patrol cavalry of the defenders of Shacheng.

The horse thieves sent a large number of sentry posts in the grassland, and as a regular army, the border army of Shacheng naturally scattered a large number of scout rangers around Shacheng to ensure the safety of Shacheng. It's just that these rangers generally only operate within a hundred miles at most, unless they are specially used to protect a certain caravan, they will rarely go farther away, so Xiao Suifeng and Linglong want to find them, but there is obviously still a big difference.

Xiao Suifeng and Linglong both understand the threat involved, but as good players in the rivers and lakes, they are both fearless people, so naturally it is impossible for them to be held back because of the existence of threats.

It's just that the things that should happen in this world will happen after all, and they will not change because you are worried or not worried.

Xiao Suifeng and Linglong took the black fox out of the Broken Forest Mountain, and on the first day of stepping on the grassland, they spent it safely and without danger, but the next day, they were targeted by horse thieves.

Moreover, if it is the rest of the horse thieves, there may be room for looping, after all, although the black fox is the biggest horse thief leader around Shacheng, but the rest of the horse thieves around the city are only deterred by the strength of the black fox, and they are not really subordinated to the black fox, and there are many people who have secretly coveted the status of the black fox.

These people, if they find out that Xiao Suifeng and Linglong want to send the black fox to Shacheng, maybe they will be happy to see the end of the legend of the black fox.

Of course, this is just Xiao Suifeng's opinion, and in fact, the rest of the horse thieves are naturally happy to see the black fox fall, because it means that they have the possibility of replacing the black fox. It's just that the actions they took after discovering the identity of the black fox were far beyond Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's expectations.

But this is an afterthought, and now the subordinates found that Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were a group of horse thieves all dressed in black, who were Black Fox's subordinates.

And coincidentally, the two met one of the Black Fox's subordinates, Guo Qing, who had previously fought with Xiao Suifeng.

This Guo Qing was one of the generals under the Black Fox at that time, and it was naturally impossible to easily take people out to rob, but right now, the situation in the Broken Forest Mountain was chaotic, and the civil strife between the horse thieves expected by Xiao Suifeng and Linglong had already occurred, although there was no large-scale conflict, but the split was imminent.

The five big King Kong and the three big generals under the black fox are still alive now, and now there are only the two big King Kong and the two big generals, and now the black fox is no more, and the one who is in charge of the entire Broken Forest Mountain horse thief is naturally these four people. Among these four people, the two big King Kongs are Han Kan and Ma Cheng, and the two generals are Jiang Ju and Guo Qing.

Of course, there are thousands of horse thieves in the Broken Forest Mountain, and the big and small leaders are naturally not only these four people, but at the moment, in the situation where the dragons are leaderless, there is no doubt that these four people are the leaders.

Among these four people, the current Han Kan and Jiang Ju control the two villages respectively, Han Kan controls Hanqiu Village and Fengya Village, while Jiang Ju controls Jifeng Village and Poisonous Cicada Village, and the two compete with each other, both of them want to replace the black fox and become the big leader of the horse thieves in the Broken Forest Mountain today, but the two are on equal foot at the moment, and no one can subdue anyone.

In addition to these two people, Guo Qing and Ma Cheng returned to Qishanzhai on the same day, and now they are under control of Qishanzhai, and the two of them did not die under Xiao Suifeng's hands because of the black fox's decision that day, Ma Cheng is okay, this Guo Qing is even more convinced of the black fox, so he has always thought that the black fox is still alive and should continue to search and rescue the black fox, and does not recognize Han Kan and Jiang Ju.

The rest of the Poisonous Cicada Village and Zhidong Village, among which the horse thief leaders did not indicate their attitudes, and they were barely on the side of Guo Qing and Ma Cheng in front of them, and they could be regarded as waiting and watching the situation. (To be continued.) )
